                               About NRLF

The Northern Regional Library Facility (NRLF) is a cooperative library
storage facility, the first of its kind in California.  It is owned and
operated by the University of California and is located on the grounds
of UC Berkeley's Richmond Field Station.  The 98,000 square foot main
building was completed in 1982; an annex was completed in 1990.  NRLF
offers high-density, low cost housing for infrequently used library
materials belonging to northern California libraries.  At this time,
depositors to NRLF are libraries on the University's Berkeley, Davis,
San Francisco, and Santa Cruz campuses, and the California State
Library.  At the beginning of 1992, more than 2.8 million items were
shelved at NRLF.  To provide the best possible environment for the
books, the stack area is climate controlled to maintain a constant
temperature (60 F) and relative humidity (50%).  Materials are stored in
the stacks by four size classifications in the order in which they are
received by the NRLF. As an additional space saving measure, books are
placed two-deep on each shelf.
